I´ve been looking forward to some beach time for quite a while now, so our 3 hour drive to get there from Piura is with a bit of anticipation. Our ride is definitely cool. Instead of the bus we spend an extra 5 soles and cruise ina 1960 mussle car with bench seats. Cool.
The beach is initialy a bit of a let down. Its very windy and that wind is cool. Its feels dirty and crowded with market stalls.
Then we find the posh/gringo end.. and its much nicer!!
It tries to be another Kuta or similar, but with a main road being the (skinny) highway, and trucks flying thru town every few mins, it just doesnt quite have the right feel.
The nice end of the beach is small, and the waves are pretty consistent. There seem to be a loads of young and fit local girls who just hang here all the time. Good to see..
Our room is the cheapest one yet, even compared to Bolivia. Its also the most scungy. Its doused in creosote when we arrive, supposedly to fend off mossies. Surprisingly, the bed is comfy, so we stay... at 15 soles($4.50US)/night we can handle that..
